One week to go

Seven days to go!  I'm excited.  Little Joe's excited! Dick and Wild Willy are excited!

Been pouring over the maps for several days now.  It pays to have a plan and be familiar with the route before setting out.  As the photo shows, it's down through California to San Diego, across to Safford, Arizona to meet Dick.  Then we'll be wandering our way North and East.  First stop, a night at the Grand Canyon.  It's been years since the last visit and the photos on the internet are so inviting.  It's a glorious place!

From there it's National parks, monuments and the Rocky Mountains on the way to Boulder, Colorado.  We'll hope to connect with family there.

Dick will then decide whether to return to Texas or continue with me on to Oregon, or at least to Ogden, as I start westward over the Rockies towards home.  I might have a new resident, but then, there's a new bed in the guest room, so that would work.

The laptop is getting a fast memory upgrade as it's functionality has dragged to the point of not being usable for the trip.  That's the last thing to do.

Wait - wait - wait

    1. That's my wife's first new car when we moved to Oregon. 200K+ miles and runs great. 1976
